We are excited to present an excerpt of Thrilled to See You, a 2018 video work by Zuza Banasińska, whose amazing Road to feelings is currently featured on VRAL.
Thrilled to See You is based on Michael Jackson’s iconic music video Thriller (1983), featuring one of the most imitated choreographies of all time. To create her video, Banasińska replaced all human dancers with computer-generated characters that are moving rhythmically on a stage decorated by their own flesh - the flattened textures of their "skin". Banasińska is comparing the original performers, who pretend to be living dead, with avatars, i.e., "bodies without a soul" - perhaps, real zombies.
